Doesn't a massive stab with the right foot do that, the way a stab on
the brakes disables cruise control?

I don't know, I've never had a car with a speed limiter.

I can set the car to 'beep' when a certain speed is reached, and that
suits me better. Conveniently it's not loud enough to wake SWMBO.

I believe modern satnavs can do this and 'know' what (nearly) all the
speed limits are...

I set the warning rather higher than the speed limit (e.g. 78 for a 70
limit).

Ooh. You are naughty! But I like you.
